Most sony users I asked why they switched to Fuji, they’d tell me several reasons and they’ll always mention how sharp Fuji lenses are especially this lens. This is the most popular lens for Fuji users. Same reason for the next one on the list. This lens is just too good that even with its noisy autofocus, I have to include it in the list. If you’re going to film videos with audio using this, make sure you use a wireless mic.įor that, the best ones today are the Rode Wireless Go Mics. This lens could’ve been number one on the list but the noisy autofocus dropped it to second. I’ve also tried on random nature and streets, check them out here: And, this is, arguably, the best wide lens created among all dslr and mirrorless camera lenses.Įven being a wide lens, it creates amazing portrait photos. This is the second-best lens for hybrid shooters.įilmmakers and photographers need a wide lens to shoot landscapes, real estates, establishing shots, etc. ![]() I am torn between this and the 18mm f1.4 but after reviewing all the footage and photos, it’s final. This lens makes you look more pleasing than a wider lens since this lens is equivalent to a 35mm full-frame. You can’t vlog with this directly handheld since it’ll be too close. If you’re trying to vlog, this lens is perfect if you’re filming with it on a tripod or you’re walking with a gorilla tripod. Take a look at some of the wedding photos I took using this lens. When I need a very shallow depth-of-field, I’ll either make the subject move farther from the background or I’ll simply use another lens that does that job.įor wedding photography, this lens is great! And I think this is the safest prime lens you can put on your camera. I use colors and contrast to make the subjects pop. I don’t mind not having that super shallow f1.4 depth of field because in most of the films I create, I’d like to show more of the background to tell the story. I muted the sound to avoid copyright claims. Here’s an example where I used the 23mmf2 on a Music Video I made for a client. The only difference is that you can shoot at a shallower depth of field on the f1.4 version.įor me, it’s okay because the main use of this lens for me is for cinematic films, vlogging, and wedding photography. The good news is that the images both of the 2 lenses produce are similar. The sound that lens produce is not even a sound of a lens that’s focusing, it’s like a robot trying to grasp breaths. If my external microphone is embedded on top of your camera and you’re using the 23mm f1.4, you won’t be able to use the audio. Even the 23mm f1.4 has shallower depth of field, I prefer being able to shoot with a quiet lens. The reason why I prefer the 23mm f2 over the 23mm f1.4 is its quiet autofocus. Even you have extra, don’t buy the more expensive one – Fujifilm 23mm f1.4. ![]() If you only have money for one lens, choose this lens because this is the most versatile lens you’ll ever get. So I researched, tried, and bought different lenses for my Fujifilm X-T3 and discovered these 6 great lenses for both stills and video. ![]() I’m a Filmmaker but I casually shoot portrait photos and I want these photos to be epic, as well!īeing a hybrid shooter, I want my lenses to be great for both as well. The main reason why I went with Fuji instead of Lumix or BMPCC is that Fuji is great for both photos and videos.
